There's a place not too far away from here
Out with the cows and the Lonestar Beer
Where the livin' and lovin' is quite alright with me
Well they call it Texas it's a might fine place to be

It runs from Texarkana to El Paso
Oklahoma down to old Mexico
And there's Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antone
People in Texas sure do make you feel at home

[bridge]

They just want everybody to leave them alone
While they drink their whiskey and roll their own
And they like their music with a little bit of Southern Sound
Kick up their heels every evening when the sun goes down

You can call it country and they don't care
And if you don't like the way they wear their hair
You can take your lights and shove 'em on up the line
People in Texas don't care if the sun don't shine
